Re: [platform-ui-dev] State of IContext support

[Chris McLaren <Chris_McLaren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jared, what you are doing looks correct, and should be working now. Please log a PR to platform-ui. I will also look at it now.
Thanks,
Chris.

Is the context support in a state where it should be working?
I'm playing around with it today, but I seem to be missing something
because when I activate my context programatically (I verified by
debugging that my code to activate is being called), my actions
don't appear in the top-level workbench menu.

If this scenario is supposed to work at this point, can someone (Chris)
take a look at the following and tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks,
- Jared

Here's the context definition:
<extension
   point="org.eclipse.ui.contexts">   
   <context
         name="Debugging"
         description="Debugging"
         id="org.eclipse.debug.ui.Debugging">
   </context>
</extension>

Here's the command definition:
<extension
      point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
   <category
         name="%runCategory.name"
         description="%runCategory.description"
         id="org.eclipse.debug.ui.category.run">
   </category>
   <command
      name="%ActionDefinition.stepWithFilters.name"
         description="%ActionDefinition.stepWithFilters.description"
         category="org.eclipse.debug.ui.category.run"
         id="org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.actions.StepWithFiltersActionDelegate">
   </command>
   <contextBinding
      commandId="org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.actions.StepWithFiltersActionDelegate"           
      contextId="org.eclipse.debug.ui.Debugging">
   </contextBinding>
</extension>

Here's the action definition:
<extension
      point="org.eclipse.ui.actionSets">
   <actionSet
         label="%DebugActionSet.label"
         visible="false"
         id="org.eclipse.debug.ui.debugActionSet">
      <menu
            label="%RunMenu.label"
            path="additions"
            id="org.eclipse.ui.run">
         <groupMarker
               name="stepIntoGroup">
         </groupMarker>
      </menu>
      <action
            id="org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.actions.StepWithFiltersActionDelegate"
            hoverIcon="icons/full/clcl16/stepbystep_co.gif"
            class="org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.actions.StepWithFiltersActionDelegate"
            definitionId="org.eclipse.debug.internal.ui.actions.StepWithFiltersActionDelegate"
            disabledIcon="icons/full/dlcl16/stepbystep_co.gif"
            icon="icons/full/elcl16/stepbystep_co.gif"
            helpContextId="step_with_filters_action_context"
            label="%StepWithFiltersAction.label"
            menubarPath="org.eclipse.ui.run/stepIntoGroup">
      </action>
   </actionSet>
</extension>

This is what I'm doing programatically to activate the context:
((Workbench) PlatformUI.getWorkbench()).getContextActivationService().activateContext("org.eclipse.debug.ui.Debugging");

P.S. Since this is a work in progress, I chose the mailing list instead
of the newsgroup. Please advise if you'd prefer the discussion moved.
